Stream 501's "Crystallize" EP

Whilst some of the artists on Never Say Die's roster are on a regular release cycle, the music of long-term resident 501 is often few and far between. For someone who creates sophisticated and distinctive work, this is not a problem; when a new EP lands, it is likely to blow you away. That's the case with this week's "Crystallize," which the Finnish maestro has manipulated together from an array of sounds and styles. This time bringing a couple of friends along for the ride (a glitched-out collab with Protohype and a tasty remix from Barely Alive), there is bass carnage from start to finish here. It's varied, textured and highly infectious music—dubstep fans should jump on this immediately.
